Bio

I am...Living proof that there is life beyond a cubicle, and it is good. Part of a child-free-by-choice couple in a babies-are-us world. Convinced that Buffy the Vampire Slayer is the best TV series ever made (-Say you're happy now, once more with feeling-). Looking forward to growing older but not up.

Area/city:

Indianapolis

Occupation:

Freelance journalist

High school:

Warren Central

College:

Butler

Activities:

Dining out, cooking in, watching all of those chef-competition shows on cable, making fun of merchandise sold on QVC (my dream job is to be a QVC host), The Office, travel, snorkeling (it's so meditative), beach bars (but only after snorkeling), Disney World, Celtic rock, my cats (go ahead, call me crazy cat lady; you won't be the first). Oh yeah, and just three words: Lifetime Movie Network -- home to such fine cinematic achievements as -Mother May I Sleep with Danger?- and -Baby Monitor: Sound of Fear.-
